Rogue Gunfighter – The Rundown

Monday, October 15th, 2012

Their motto is, “Fight Fast, Light, Ready be Unpredictable”. They apply “reality from experience” to what they do. You might already ‘know’ Rogue Gunfighter and not even realize it. We’ve been hearing snippets here and there for months from friends all around the industry. Once you learn a little more, you’ll start to put some pieces together like we did. They’ve got a lot going on and it’s pretty exciting stuff.

Rogue Gunfighter, LLC was formed in 2012 by a group of friends who have worked and operated together in some of the worlds most undesirable place to include Yemen, Libya, South American, Europe, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Indian Ocean and Pakistan. Our culture is derived from the “Gunfighter” lifestyle and warrior ethos. We come from diverse backgrounds to include all branches of the US Military Branches to include SOCOM, OGA, Intelligence, Anti Piracy/Ship Protection and High Threat Protection.

RG has worked with some great companies like Troy Industries, TAG, High Threat Concealment, Smith and Wesson, Insight Technologies/L-3, Eotech, LCI, Smith Optics, Rogue American Apparel, Team Wendy and Kill Cliff. We recently finished a fun project utilizing equipment and gear mentioned above.

Let’s start off with their armor carrier. The RG Multi-Purpose Operation Carrier. It’s a slick, low-profile rig that can be worn over or under clothing depending on the mission. It incorporates load carriage that doesn’t get in the way when not in use.

They also offer a removable MOLLE panel for more overt use.

As you can see, they are also working with our friends at High Threat Concealment who have also developed low-profile working rigs that incorporate more than just a pistol and spare magazine.

They’re also working on several other projects including –


A low profile med pouch


Lights


Knives


And a low profile clothing line in conjunction with Rogue American Apparel


Naturally, they’re going to share their philosophy through training

I’m pretty excited about what I’m seeing here. It’s ambitious, but it didn’t just happen overnight. They’ve been working on this for awhile with each guy bringing his piece to the puzzle and they’ve been refining everything over the last year or so.

Their website isn’t quite ready to go yet but be sure to ‘like’ them on Facebook in order to keep up with their latest news.

LaRue Tactical Offering Backpack Shield Level IIIA Ballistic Plate

Sunday, September 30th, 2012

The Backpack Shield BP3A Level IIIA Ballistic Plate is made from Kevlar, offers full NIJ level IIIA protection in the form of a simple plate that can be placed in packs, messenger bags, briefcases and other similar EDC bags.

The above plate was shot with 32 rounds of pistol ammo ranging from 9mm to 45ACP

This isn’t the first of its kind, but its interesting to see LaRue once again expand from their core business to offer their customers new products. And I think they are right on time with this one. If you or your significant other regularly carry a daypack or have children who do, then this is a great, simple addition to your EDC that gives you something to hide behind in the event you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Think of it as insurance.

One point to consider is the weight. It’s 2 lbs. That’s a big deal to an adult or older kid but it could be a bit of a burden for a younger child in addition to his books. Also, consider the size when ordering to make sure you have a pack to fit. It’s 17” high x 12 wide” x .375” thick (Plate surface is roughly .25” thick). If your concern is to protect yourself or family, have the pack or attache accommodate the plate and not the other way around.

Manufactured in Austin, Texas, the Backpack Shield BP3A Level IIIA Ballistic Plate, is available at www.laruetactical.com/backpack-shield.
